San Diego CCW

[birdman81]

I carry a shield 9mm and glock 19. I alternate between the two.

So, I got approv ed, took my class, and now I have tried calling the past two days and I keep getting the voicemail. I left a message and I will see if I get a returned call.

I provided a signed letter from my employer verifying my employment, my duties and the risks I face. I think they accepted that alone and never contacted her either on my initial application or on my renewal. I have never heard of them contacting an employer after they have issued the permit.

Does anyone know if you use your job as a reason do they contact your employer?

They just verify your employment. They don't mention anything about CCW.

Obviously it's best that whomever you give them contact information for expects their call.

I have an S-Corp that's listed on mine as an 'Employer' - this is technically accurate, but oddly enough they didn't call me at my work number to have me verify my own employment.

I think they MAY have visited the mail service I use for the company, as one of the staff there did act real funny when I came by after my approval notice. Probably some Sheriff Dep. coming by and asking about me spooked her and she was probably left with no clue why SDSO was looking into me. She's back to normal now.

I gave them a copy of the company statement of information as part of my GC evidence, so they likely figured asking me to validate myself wasn't a great idea.

[bluemantra]

I used it as part of mine an yes they contacted my employer but didn’t ask about it they just asked if I was employed in good standing

Really? I’d really rather my work not know. I currently have my CCW, but I may need to change my GC. My current CCW lists my profession and employer on the license. Perhaps they already did the originally?

San Diego CCW

Just got approved!

I don't know anybody outside of law enforcement that carries a second gun (New York reload).

If I were looking for a new .380 for CCW, I think I there are some pretty small Glocks. There are some really small 1911 pattern .380's like the Colt Mustang, and Sig P238.

[Eddy_O.]

I've thought about it, I could put the .380 in an ankle holster but man, not being LEO I struggle to find a situation likely I would need it, just needing your CCW is rare to begin with. Maybe if things got really frisky in the world, I mean there's an option there to hand it to my wife or friend if it was a bad bad situation, like suddenly find yourself in a riot area. But these are wild scenarios. The average self defense shooting is within six feet and two shots.

I started with a CA flavor Shield and that was the main one for a long time, but found I could carry my Sig P229 just fine once I got used to the weight, and it's from 1993 so none of the lame CA safety requirements. I'll go to the shield rarely now, also have a little .380 and use a sticky holster if I make a quick run down the street and don't want to gear up all the way.
